Suggest Remedy For Psychiatric Issues

I have had every kind of hallucination that exists. Every day almost all day and night most days. Some days not as bad as others. I have had several different psychiatrists in the same company including therapists that do not believe me. In the state hospital my doctor gave me the meds I needed but after getting out my meds have changed. I have been taken off of the only med that helped. Resulting in worsening psychotic episodes. I was on geodon higher dose than normally allowed but it worked for me until I had been on it for a couple years. I am thinking of self medicating but that only helps for a short time before it makes things worse. What should I do?

Hallucination is a part of psychotic illness.

Detail evaluation of its content /frequency/type/duration/associated symptoms /reaction to hallucination etc require.

hallucination mainly auditory is more common than visual.

Anti psychotic is the only treatment for psychotic illness.

So do consult best psychiatrist and get proper evaluation.
